after having the same website design since the mid-00's, i decided it was time to give things a refresh. (really, it was because i wrote a book and needed something that was more presentable when doing some marketing).
as a developer, there's always the urge to
do more. should i setup some sort of blogging system? or a static site generator? or outsource everything entirely to a service with a wysiwyg tool? after deliberating procrastinating for a couple of weeks, i realized that i should carry on the same path, a bunch of hand curated static files.
don't over-prepare by setting up a grand structure for something that i may not commit a bunch of time to. in a sense, i'm welcoming the problem of maintaining permalinks, as that means i've been successful.
